That was a pretty ugly SB on offense.

What about last year?

Yeah. That NE team is KNOWN for their defense. Lol

THERE are plenty of examples in recent history that's shows teams with better offenses then defenses winning
The superbowl

Pats, colts, saints,packers etc

The INT to save the game last year was a fluke bad play by Seattle. They chose the exact wrong thing to do.

So, I guess this means we'll never have to hear about Ben's superbowl 40 performance ever again, right?

Packers had a good defense. Pretty much sealed the game with a forced fumble and also had a huge INT early in the game.

There definitely isn't plenty.

and while you laugh at the Pats they are known to be an opportunitistic defense who gives up yards but doesn't give up points.

You are correct. 3/4 defense won this season showing the folly of 4/3 fixes everything nonesense. If Jones wasn't a "miss" as a pick, nobody would whine about 4/3.

People want us to emulate Carolina to improve our pass rush when we had MORE SACKS THAN THEY DID, without a single dominating pass rusher .
Do you realize we are one good pass rusher away from leading the league in sacks.

Kind of explodes the myth that you've got to have a great offense to win in today's NFL. Denver clearly didn't have a great offense this year. But they did have a great defense, and that ended up being good enough. Nice to see.

I hope the Steelers are paying attention. Some investment, attention and hard work on their D, and they could be hoisting the next Lombardi.

it was a Trent Dilferish win for Manning yesterday.

That D really carried the Broncos to the SB win.

Impressive. One thing that stood out is the Panthers struggling vs the 3-4. I think it definitely caused problems for them.

[Iron City Inc.]

Broncos last 5 drafts all #1's on D....Miller , Wolfe, Sly Williams, Roby and Ray for what it's worth.

Their offense was better that day. They scored more than our offense did.

As little appreciation as our defense got, had AZ scored as it had been scoring we lose. We held them well below their average. If not for a defensive score, Ben's hero moment never happens.

The better defense won.

I generally think that you need to be balanced on O and D to win. Denver was not, but they were just so ferocious on D that it didn't matter that their O was bad.

Watching the Denver D play NE and CAR makes me wish that we were healthy when we went up to Denver. Our Offence was the best test they got all playoffs.

(But for the record, I think we probably would have lost in NE if we beat Denver).
